Sounds interesting!

Very interesting!

What about replacement players?

The game button to trade technology will not be available. But players can trade ships, resources and everything they can agree on. Just don't do it versus the AI.

The AI is too dumb to distinguish a bod from a good deal.

As for Britney Scream, it was a text from Deathstalker...

?

The game hasn't started yet.

But anyway, there is still a bug in the PBW interface. I cannot accept new players. It is aknown bug due to problems experimented by the server some days ago.

So when we have reached a suffisant number, I will ask the PBW admin to accept all players.

Final question. If I turn on all ministers and click end turn; Will I win?
If you were at war against me and Alpha Kodiak, like in the original game by Deathstalker, then you would probably win .

But as we are not playing in this one, you would loose .

I still have scorch marks on the walls of my office from the abuse my fleets took in that one!

He meant, "what procedures are you going to have for finding replacements if and when people drop out of the game? What will be done with turn processing while looking for replacements? etc."

This is not neccesary. You can accept players yourself. You will get a 500 error, but they will be accepted. Once you have them accepted at some point later they will revert to pending if the players don't upload their empires right away. To avoid this after you have them accepted go to the game admin screen and hit the button to "Update Options". You don't have to change anything, just hit the update button.
